To determine the location coordinates use the Location component. To display the coordinates on the map use the Map component. Basic examples of their use can be found in the documentation: [https://docs.thunkable.com/thunkable-cross-platform/2-create/components/map-location/location-sensor](https://docs.thunkable.com/thunkable-cross-platform/2-create/components/map-location/location-sensor) [https://docs.thunkable.com/thunkable-cross-platform/2-create/components/map-location/map](https://docs.thunkable.com/thunkable-cross-platform/2-create/components/map-location/map) To display the location of your users on the map, you must create a base of their coordinates which can then be displayed on the map as markers or areas. Use the Spreadsheet or RealtimeDB components to access the database. [https://docs.thunkable.com/thunkable-cross-platform/2-create/components/data-storage/spreadsheet](https://docs.thunkable.com/thunkable-cross-platform/2-create/components/data-storage/spreadsheet) [https://docs.thunkable.com/thunkable-cross-platform/2-create/components/data-storage/realtime-db](https://docs.thunkable.com/thunkable-cross-platform/2-create/components/data-storage/realtime-db) You can ask users to specify their location, but they may refuse to do so. ---
